  iPod as Digital Photographer's Best Friend

Indeed, the FlashTrax looks cool. I like that they made a mass storage device so it doesn't need any additional drivers. Very smart.


The 40 GB model retails for $549 US, which is about $50 cheaper than a 40 GB iPod with the additional Belkin reader. So it's right there in price hunt.


The reason why I like the iPod for the "Mac photographer," is because it so well integrates with the operating system and will continue to evolve. Just recently we saw the addition of voice recording and media storage. Other features such as calendaring, data back up, iSync, etc., make the pod an extension of the Mac itself.


So it really depends on what type of computer user you are and your primary needs. For me, I'm deeply involved in many aspects of my Mac, and the iPod complements my style nicely. If your focus is more digital photography and less Mac computing in general, the FlashTrax could be an excellent choice.


If you get one, let us know what you think!

    I will add that in favor of the iPod, your article pointed out many things I had no idea you could do! I may not need them, but you are correct that the integration level is impressive.

    Thanks!
